A 55 year old man who is overweight, a heavy drinker and habitual smoker is brought
in to the emergency department after he appeared confused and was slurring his
speech at his workplace. Given the patient's lifestyle, the doctors suspect an ischemic
stroke and immediately arrange for a scan to aid in the diagnosis. Discuss which
imaging modality the doctor might use to establish if the patient had suffered a stroke
and give reasons for your choice.
[8]
Describe the physical principles behind the imaging technique you have chosen.
Explain the analytical process that could be used to confirm whether the stroke was
ischemic rather than hemorrhagic.
As a further precaution and to inform the management of the patient's condition going
forward, the doctor wants to assess whether the patient has atherosclerosis in his
carotid artery. Describe the basis of an imaging technique that would be used to give
this additional information.
What are some reasons that sonography would be unsuitable for examining the size and location of a brain tumor?
Answer the following questions:
What is MRI?
Why do doctors order an MRI scan?
What are the do’s and don’ts when undergoing an MRI scan?

- Your teacher was in a car accident recently. His car's steering wheel damaged the majority of his digestive system below his diaphragm. You're a surgeon concerned with restoring and extracting any organs that have been affected. One of his organs must be removed, according to your colleague who performed the initial diagnosis, but you can't recall which one. Which organ would be the most harmful if it were to be removed? Which one is the least likely? What would happen if these organs were removed? Please list the organ, functions, and effects of them. Your teacher was in a car accident recently.

These disorders affect the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons. Prolonged poor posture can lead to increased strain on the spine, particularly the lumbar and cervical regions, contributing to lower back pain and neck pain. The long hours of typing and using a mouse without proper ergonomic support can lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which affects the nerves and tendons in the hands and wrists. Provide an article that thoroughly explains the following issues: 1. How does the anatomy of the spine contribute to the development of lower back pain when exposed to poor ergonomic conditions? 2. What physiological processes are involved in the onset of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in office workers like Sarah? 3.

- Martha is a 75-year old woman who has terminal cancer of the bladder. During the course of her therapy, she sustains third degree radiation burns to her lower abdomen and pelvic area. Her wounds are extensive and deep involving her abdominal wall, bladder and vagina. The doctor orders frequent medicinal douches and wound irrigation. These treatments are very painful and the patient wants the treatment discontinued but is too timid to actualy refuse them. The doctor will not change the order. 1.

He lives with his mother Berkley, a calculus teacher; his father Edgar, a psysicist; and Molly, his 5-day-old baby sister. His mother is disappointed at his reaction to school. She tells you, "We worked so hard to prepare him for school. Taught him whole alphabet and how to count to 100. He's so excited about learning he wanted to practice writing his name rather go to a friend's birthday party." She asks you what could be wrong. How can she make his first school experience better?" Question to be answer: 1. What additional information would you like to know before you advise his mother? What are some reasons you can think of as to why he might not be enjoying preschool? 2. Could temperament be playing a role in why Andrew is not fitting in well at preschool? Are there other indications he doesn't want to leave his house to go to school just now? 3.

Question: Scenario: Your buddy Ezra is a space explorer who has landed on an unexplored planet, where his job is to catalogue the organisms that live there. On the first day, he is bitten by some kind of cat-like creature with bird legs, and he starts to feel like he can no longer pinpoint exactly where pain is coming from on his body. You, a hotshot physiologist with incredible measurement tools, do a fullbody scan of Ezra's neurons and you find that the cat-like creature's bite has caused the breakdown of his "collaterals". Ezra is a bit of a physiology novice and asks you explain what the breakdown of collaterals would cause him to no longer be able to pinpoint the source of pain on his body.arrow_forward
